I saw on the show extreme cheapskates a woman cooked a lasagna in her dishwasher. Her guests said it was very watery
and nasty tasting. Plus it took over 2 hours to cook and since she is cheap she only use 1/2 lb. ground beef and mixed it with beef fat.
There is a food scientist on the internet who debunks a good number of Instagram and TikTok videos that show incredible food items. In many cases, she and her staff try to recreate the videos just to find out that they just don't work.
You have to remember that most of these videos are made as click bait as opposed advancing home cooking.
I first saw somebody cook a meal in the dishwasher several years ago. You seal the food, so it doesn't get wet. It works, but why bother?
I recently found a site that told how to cook several foods in a bread machine. Apparently, bread machines are allowed in dorms where other cooking appliances are not.
Ditto for coffee makers, you can cook noodles or heat soup in them.
Whats the point? My dw takes about an hour full cycle. FIsh can be cooked in minutes on the stove top. Plus I don't want a flake of fish stuck to my drinking glass.
I agree it is just a quest for her 15 minutes of fame.
I remember a friend's mother doing this when I was a kid, so that would be the early 1980's. Nothing new, but still more of a "thing" than actually cooking it yourself.
I don't cook food in my dishwasher, but I've been known to clean a bike helmet and/or a baseball cap in there. (No, I don't think that's gross. The inside of my DW might be the cleanest thing anywhere, it gets santized every time it's used, and that includes "after being used to clean a helmet".)
I've cooked manifold meals a few times. Basically to see how it would work. Wrap up a hobo dinner in foil, wire wrap to the exhaust manifold of the car or truck, drive to your location and eat. Not a precise method of cooking, but it got the job done.
I do have a truckers oven- a lunchbox looking heater that plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car. They have little aluminum pans that sit in them. That does work and is awesome during hunting season when I want a hot sandwich or mac n cheese.

When I worked for the state highway department, some of us in the winter, when working where we couldn't get to town for lunch, would have a sandwich wrapped in foil, leave the truck running, and put the sandwich on the defrost vent. Not the hottest, but warm!
Now if you really want something odd, but it tastes great, in the summers when we're putting down blacktop, we would cook corn on the cob in the hot blacktop. That stuff is around 350 degrees when dumped in the truck. We'd get some ears of corn, fresh from the field (sometimes we even asked the farmers! LOL) and stick them, still in the shucks, down in the blacktop, leaving the silks sticking out so we could find them. In the 30 or so minutes it would take to get to the job site, the heat would cook the corn, but the oil in the blacktop couldn't get through the shucks. Somebody would bring some squeeze butter and some salt and we had a great lunch.
